Holden...why did you take
this room? Mine has a view
of the Statue of Liberty.
It's your first time
in New York City, so I figured
it would be nice for you
to wake up to in the morning.
Always a gentleman.
[Holden chuckling]
Not...always.
But I really do appreciate you
coming here with me, Claire.
It means a lot.
What are friends for?
[knocking on door]
Mom. Is everything okay?
I just heard that
Cane's stem cells have been
harvested and are on their way
to New York.
So this is, uh, really happening.
Thanks to your ex-boss.
I know people have issues with Cane, but...
as far as I'm concerned, he's a miracle.
LILY: Okay, how are you feeling?
You okay?
Like I got hit by a truck.
Really? I thought that
the outpatient procedure
would be an easier recovery.
-Aah. -What? What?
That's my arm.
Oh, okay. Sorry.
It's just I'm sensitive.
Okay. I forgot what a big baby you are
when you're sick.
I'm not a baby.
Really? Because every time
you would have a sore throat,
you would whine for days.
I do not whine.
You're kind of whining right now.
[Cane groans]
Do you need another pain pill?
No, I'm good. I took one right before we left the hospital.
Well, if you want one in like an hour or so,
let me know--or sooner.
Don't try to be a hero.
First I'm a baby, now I'm a hero?
Why don't you make up your mind?
Okay. Both things can be true.
But I'm serious. Don't chase the pain.
Yeah, no, no, I don't, uh,
I don't wanna get hooked on these things.
They make you feel too good.
I can see how people get addicted to them.
Bring what I asked for?
Did you?
Pleasure.
♪♪
[huffs] What do you mean, Phyllis has Matt Clark?
Doesn't she know what an evil, dangerous man he is?
Ha. Get this.
She says Matt Clark
can't remember who he is
or what he's done.
His whole life is a blank.
What?
All right, so now what happens?
Well...
it really depends on what she decides to do.
If Victor manages to get Christine to drop the charges,
she has to give him Matt
and Newman Enterprises.
Oh, well, that sounds very one-sided for Victor.
Oh, he's not gonna budge, Lauren.
This is his end game.
You think she'll do it?
Ah, I no longer can predict anything she might do.
Hey! Look at you.
-You look great. -Thanks. You look great.
Ah, thank you. So how does everything fit?
Yeah, size-wise, great.
Not really sure this is my style.
Yeah, it doesn't matter. I mean, you'll fit in better this way.
-I have breakfast. -Oh.
-I got you something. -I thought we might
-go downstairs for breakfast. -No, that's not a good idea.
We should just lay low.
You--you just--you never know who might see you.
Okay.
-How'd you sleep? -Terribly.
Yeah. Kept waking up...
these flashes of...
yeah, flashes that don't make much sense.
What kind of flashes?
Like faces of people that I don't know.
And places that seem familiar
but then they don't seem familiar.
Yeah, don't worry about it.
Don't push so hard. It'll all come back to you.
I have a burner phone for you,
so if you wanna get in touch with me, you can.
Why are you being so nice to me?
You asked me to help you.
But you said you have a lot going on
and you're here and you buy me stuff
and you put me up in this fancy suite.
Why? W-what do you want from me?
-Okay, there. -Ah...
-How is that? -It's good.
-Can you just, uh... -What?
Take my shoes off for me, please?
-Oh, yeah. -Just hurts to bend over.
Yeah, okay. Got it.
-Thank you. -Okay.
-Anything else? -No, it's just...
it's hot in here. Is it hot in here?
Uh, no. Are you hot?
Yeah. Do I have a fever?
-Do you have a thermometer? -I don't. Can you just--
-Just use your hand. -Um, yeah.
No, I mean, you feel normal.
-Really? -Yeah.
Okay. Well, I guess you'd know, raising two kids.
Including me. Three, including me.
Um, are you hungry?
Do you want me to have the chef make you something?
No, I gave everyone the day off
'cause I thought I was having surgery.
Okay. I can make you something if you want.
That'd be wonderful.
-Okay. What do you want? -Some grapes.
Please. Peeled.
-Peeled? -Peeled, please.
-[laughs] -What?
Okay. I see what's happening here.
-What's happening? -No, no, no. It's okay.
-You got me. You got me. -Well, you shouldn't have
-called me a baby. -Okay, yes, you're right.
I'm sorry I called you a baby. Just brought back memories.
-Happy ones? -Uh...
annoying. Both can be true.
Okay. I'm gonna let you get some rest.
Wait, no, no, no, don't-- don't go.
I mean, I don't--I don't need anything. I just...
I'm glad you're here.
I am too.
Were you able to reach Lily?
She's getting Cane settled,
and then she'll fly out later in the morning.
She told me that Mattie won't be able to make it,
but since Charlie lives here in the city,
might have a chance to meet him in person.
-Your nephew? -Yeah.
That make you nervous?
Ah, it's--it's all new to me, everything about this. Ha.
Yeah, he's nervous.
Mom.
Don't let that nonchalant attitude fool you.
[laughs]
I know how difficult this is for you.
So I'm glad that you came along, Claire.
Oh, well, don't worry. I'm on to him.
I know that underneath all that calm and cool,
he's just a big softie.
I can see that I'm leaving my son in very good hands.
He's another one of those tough guys
who needs someone to hold his hand every once in a while.
I'll let you know when it's a good time
to come and see Malcolm.
They're prepping him for surgery and that'll take a little while.
Wish him luck for me, okay?
I'll do that.
-Good to see you, Claire. -Yeah, you as well.
Why so serious?
I think your mom might be right. I think maybe you are...
worried or maybe even a little scared
about losing the dad that you just found?
Thank you.
I think Phyllis went into this thinking she had the upper hand.
How could she possibly think that?
Well, she knew the Newmans wanted Matt Clark very badly,
so she figured the trade would be one for one.
She gives them Matt, and they give her her freedom.
And she keeps her company.
Well, except...
Victor didn't think that.
So I'm sure she's out there somewhere
trying to figure out a way to
keep Summers Conglomerate.
But you don't think she can, do you?
No.
And I'm sorry for you
and the energy you put into this project.
I know you had high hopes.
I did.
I really did.
But I certainly don't want Phyllis in prison...
or worse.
Nobody wants that.
Which is why she needs to take Victor's deal
sooner rather than later.
You know, and that's another thing.
What if Christine doesn't go along with this plan?
What if she wants to go after Phyllis anyway?
Need I remind you how, um,
convincing Victor can be,
especially when he's closing a deal?
Let him worry about that part.
My money's on him.
Come on, man.
You gotta get it together. [exhaling]
ADAM: There you are.
What took you so long?
I, uh, had to make a stop.
Uh, what's the latest?
Pop's on a meeting with the security team.
Anything on Matt?
Nothing so far.
Tracking Phyllis. That hasn't led anywhere either.
Which is, uh, starting to make me wonder.
About what?
I'm thinking we don't do anything
until we know for sure Phyllis had Matt
and she's willing to give him to us.
Otherwise, it's just her word.
We know how good that is.
PHYLLIS: Maybe I'm just a good person.
Maybe...I just wanna help you
because I know what it's like to be down on my luck.
Thanks.
I mean, if you're buying me this stuff
and you're putting me up in this fancy room in this fancy joint,
-clearly, your luck has changed. -Yeah, it has changed. Yeah.
I've run into some good fortune. I have.
Maybe I'm just paying it forward.
Yeah, so, okay-- and I appreciate it.
You are like a lifeline. But this room, nice as it is,
is starting to close in a little bit, you know?
I don't like the way this feels. I'm feeling really cooped up
right now. And...
Why don't we take your goodies to go,
and we'll just go for like a little walk--
No, uh, just-- we're not doing that.
Are you okay? You seem a little high strung this morning.
-You seem a little high strung. -I-I--
You know what? I'm sorry. I-I shouldn't have said that.
I shouldn't have raised my voice.
I apologize.
Uh, listen, listen.
Shh. Okay?
I don't think you should leave this room.
Because you don't know what the Newmans...
y-you don't know what they have against you.
You don't know that yet. I don't know it.
So--so just lay low.
-Okay. -Kay?
-Yeah. -All right?
-Yeah, it makes sense. -Until we can find out,
-you know... -Sure.
...the beef that they have, right?
Yeah. It's just-- it's all really weird, you know,
and--and I don't know who I am or where I come from.
But this place, this town,
it's like the only real clue that I have.
So I wanna get out there.
I understand that. So...
you say you've had flashes, right?
Yeah, but none of them make any sense.
All right, well, they might make sense to me.
So why don't you just tell me about them?
A new one popped into my head, right?
I'm at a park maybe or like a point vista,
and then when you look out, it's kinda the same thing you see
when you look out this window.
And there's this guy, and he punches me
and then he's like ranting over me...
Ranting about what?
I don't know. The words don't make any sense.
Well, it might make sense to me.
-What did he look like? -He's fit. Handsome
in a, you know, "peaked in high school" kinda way.
And I don't know how old I am,
but I feel like we might be the same age,
only he's a little bit more gray like...
Do you... does this ring a bell, Phyllis?
You wouldn't know who I'm talking about, would you?
No. There's no way Phyllis is gonna try and fool us with Matt.
How the hell would Phyllis have the guy locked up?
And where?
I don't know. Maybe he doesn't know he's being locked up.
What do you mean?
Maybe he did lose his memory
and Phyllis is using that against him.
Or maybe he's playing a long con
and he's using her to get to us.
I mean, that does sound like something that Matt would do,
but it just seems like a hell of a risk.
I'm just saying we have to explore all angles here, Nick.
The only angle I care about is getting rid of Matt.
So why not get our company back while we're at it?
Because I don't wanna waste any more time, okay?
Any delays just give Matt time to make his next move
or get outta town.
This should have been a clean exchange,
Matt for Phyllis's freedom-- boom, we're done.
Okay, but Dad wants that too.
He wants Matt gone just as much as anybody else.
Dad wants everything, and that's what makes me nervous.
This could be over today, right now,
but Dad's making it too complicated.
I'm fine. And Malcolm is gonna be fine.
And then you and I are going to enjoy New York City.
-Holden, don't do that. -I'm just checking
the ferry schedule for the Statue of Liberty.
Hey, the Statue of Liberty can wait.
Well, then we can go to the Met
or check out Central Park.
Holden, why won't you talk about this?
-What? -This. The reason we're here.
It's not so we can go sightseeing.
It's so that you can be with your father and your new family
under some pretty dire circumstances.
It's not a walk in Central Park. It's pretty heavy stuff.
And I hope that you feel comfortable enough with me now
that you could... share how you feel.
It's--it's strange, that's all.
A few weeks ago, I never even heard the name Malcolm Winters.
And Lily, Devon, Nate--
they were basically people who didn't like me.
And now, suddenly, they're--
Your family.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
And suddenly everything that you thought you ever knew
just goes right out the window, but...
You will develop feelings, even love for people
that you didn't know that you had in you.
Yeah, um, I'm not there yet, but...
it's kinda terrifying.
Changes everything.
You've been there too.
Well, I was raised by a psychopath.
I think Stephanie's a pretty big step up from that,
but, yeah, I know the feeling.
Once you know who you are and where you come from,
it's pretty hard to go back.
What I'm trying to say
is that it's okay to be vulnerable.
And it's okay to say that you're worried about Malcolm,
because he's your dad.
Stem cells are on their way to New York for Malcolm.
-What? -Thank God.
See? I told you you have nothing to worry about.
What do you mean? I wasn't worried.
Really?
I was concerned.
Are you trying to tell me
that you are not Ms. Worst-Case Scenario?
I'm not. [laughs] What do you mean?
Do you remember when you thought Mattie had the measles?
You were running around the house freaking out
wondering if you should call 911.
Oh, yeah. And it turns out she got creative with her markers.
I got more. You wanna hear more?
-No, that's okay. That's fine. -How about when I was late
coming home, and so you called the police,
the sheriff's department. I think you called--
-[laughing] Oh, my God! -Did you call the Marines
to go out looking for me?
Okay, I will admit that was very embarrassing.
Yeah, and what was I doing? I was at a meeting out of town.
And I called you and told you. I left you a voicemail message.
But you don't listen to your messages.
Whatever. I have an active imagination.
Some might call that "catastrophizing."
-I've got more. -No. [laughs] It's okay.
-You can stop. -Well, if I'm a whiny baby,
then you are Queen of Concern.
-Deal? -Yes, okay. fine.
-Deal. -[both chuckling]
You were always good at making me laugh.
I'd laugh too if it didn't hurt so much.
But I am very happy
to bring you some relief.
Maybe that means you don't hate me so much anymore.
I never hated you.
Oh, come on. You hated me.
You might have even said that much.
No. Okay, well, I don't hate you now.
How do you feel about me?
PHYLLIS: Listen, I wish I could help you.
That description--I just don't know who that is.
-Yeah, I figured as much. -Yeah, I'm sorry.
No, don't be. There's nothing--please.
Maybe I could just go to the Newmans' house
and knock on the door and be like, "Hey, how are you guys?
What did I ever do? Like what do you want?"
No, that's a bad idea. Don't do that. Don't do that.
-Just kidding. -Yeah.
I mean, I'm not... totally kidding.
I mean...
I hate this.
It feels like I'm in a box, like this tiny little black box,
and there's no air
and there's no light.
'Cause I think light, for a person,
is what it is that they care about,
and I don't know what I care about.
And I hope that when I remember who I really am
that I care about someone.
I really hope that there's someone in this world
that cares about me.
I'm--I'm sorry that...
I'm sorry you're going through this.
Listen, I'm gonna figure this out for you...
-No, I just-- -...and when I do, I-I-I...
I really do wanna help you, okay?
-I know. -Just hang on
a little bit longer, that's all.
-Thank you so much. -You don't have to
-keep on thanking me. -Okay, look, I don't know
if I have any friends in this world,
but it feels to me like you're being my friend.
So thank you.
I, um...all right.
-I gotta go. -Can you stick around, maybe?
-We'll have your breakfast. -No, it's okay. I--
I have a bunch of things I have to do. I'm...
gonna help you with this. I just...
-I have to get going. -Okay.
It's gonna be good.
Right.
Did you feel it, like right away?
A connection with your family.
You know my story. My aunt raised me to hate the Newmans.
And she programmed me to help her destroy them,
and I almost did.
But in the end...you couldn't.
Once I learned that they actually wanted me...
It was like part of my life fell into place,
a part I didn't even know was missing.
And I fought it at first.
How could they love me after what I tried to do to them?
But they did.
And they do.
Well, I don't know if I'll ever have that
with the Winters clan.
We're basically...
still strangers.
You can have it if you open yourself up to it.
That's what I had to do.
I took a chance that it was real
and I just had to go with it.
And that's when I started to notice things.
What things?
Like how my mom twirls her hair when she's upset
-just like I do. -[chuckles]
Or how my dad and I would be the only two people in the room
to laugh at the same dumb joke.
That's when I realized I was a part of them.
Claire.
-I just miss him. -Your dad.
Come here.
Well, I'll be honest with you.
I'm not really sure how I feel about you right now.
But I am very grateful
that you're doing this for Malcolm, and...
I'm relieved that the man I fell in love with
hasn't completely disappeared.
But you can't completely trust him.
Well, I mean, I like that we can be friends
and that you're doing this for Malcolm and...
that I can be in the same room as you
without feeling guilty and ashamed.
When do you leave for New York?
Uh, anytime I want.
I'm taking the Winters jet.
You'll keep me posted on how the transplant goes?
Yeah. You'll be the first person I call.
Well, after Mattie.
She's not going?
Uh, no, she already missed too much school
-when we, um... -It's okay.
Will you just tell her I love her?
Yeah. I will.
And thank you for doing this for Malcolm.
I just really hope that it works.
Hey, you just got done calling me a liar
for saying you worry too much.
Prove me wrong.
Believe it will work out, and I promise you it will, Lily.
Look, I know you want this over with.
Okay? So do I. So does everybody.
But I think Dad's plan to get Newman Enterprises
makes sense.
I don't see it.
That's 'cause all you're looking at right now
is Matt with a target on his back.
Phyllis is desperate.
We are negotiating from a position of strength.
This kills two problems. One move.
Only if she agrees to Dad's terms.
How could Phyllis not?
Because this is Phyllis we're talking about.
We both know her wheels are always spinning.
Which means she's probably looking for a plan B.
And that's when things are gonna get dangerous, Adam.
There is no plan B, Nick.
She either agrees to our terms, or she's gonna go to prison.
It's as clean and simple as that.
Hey, good to see you!
-So, did you fill Lauren in? -Oh, yes. Yes, he did.
And you know what? The sooner you can
disentangle yourself from Matt Clark, the better.
You're playing with fire. [laughs]
This is not gonna end well.
Are you ready to accept Victor's terms? Are you?
Let's all keep our voices down. How 'bout that?
I'm sticking with my original plan.
In exchange for Matt Clark, I get my freedom.
I see no reason to throw my company in the mix.
I don't care what Victor demands.
-Then it won't happen. -Uh, yeah, it will happen.
Nick wants Matt Clark off the street like yesterday.
And Victor loves his company like one of his own children.
Okay, well, let's just see what child he prefers.
So...
what's he like now?
The Matt who doesn't know he's Matt.
He's scared.
And he's frustrated.
I mean, wouldn't you be if you suddenly forgot
who you were and where you came from?
I know everybody says he's evil and dangerous, but...
the guy I'm talking to is none of those things.
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
-Wait a minute what? -Yeah. Oh, my God!
He's getting to you.
NICK: Have you heard from Phyllis?
Yeah. She's stalling.
She doesn't realize my offer's the best one she'll get.
And what if she doesn't take it?
Then she's a fool.
Then we lose our best chance to nail Matt Clark.
Dad, I'm begging you...
please make the deal. I need this.
I understand your desire to get back Newman Enterprises.
I want it as badly as you do.
And I promise you, we'll find another way to make it happen.
But I need Phyllis to hand Matt over to us.
Adam, what do you think?
I don't agree.
We have Phyllis on the run.
She's bound to see there's no way out...eventually.
NICK: I don't have time for eventually, okay?
Phyllis thinks she has the situation under control,
but she is dealing with a straight-up lunatic.
Matt at some point could remember who he is
and what he wants, and that was to see me and my family dead.
Yeah.
Well, I wish there was someone to stay here with you
after I leave.
Someone to take care of me as well as you have?
It's not possible.
Well, I thought maybe you should have your staff come back today?
No. You've set me up perfectly.
Fluffed my pillows, brought me snacks.
I'm good.
Wow. It's a miracle. You're not whining!
-Oh, my gosh! -So, progress.
-Yeah, I think so. -Rub my feet.
-Get your feet outta here! -Aah!
Oh, sorry. Are you okay?
I'm okay. I'm okay.
I'm gonna be okay.
Your work here is done.
You need to go be with Malcolm now.
-This is kind of embarrassing. -Tsshh.
I come all this way to support you,
and then I end up falling apart.
Stop. Stop it.
No, really, I'm... I'm sorry, Holden.
Please.
Don't apologize.
The last thing you need is to see me crying
when you're the one who needs comforting.
That is exactly what you just did for me.
What?
I-I can't remember the last time that I cried--
probably going all the way back to when I was a kid.
I...I tend to keep everything inside.
That's not a good idea.
Yeah, I am starting to realize that.
But what you just did for me, that went straight to my heart.
The feelings that you have for your dad, it...
it touched me, Claire.
And it made me imagine that maybe one day
I might have the same for mine.
I...
I'm so grateful
that you came with me for this.
You know, son...
we all understand your desire to get rid of Matt Clark.
We share your sentiment.
Yes, he's right, Nick.
The whole family wants Clark to go down,
but if we do things Pop's way,
we get everything.
So you're not gonna change your mind.
Phyllis is running scared.
She knows she's gonna go to prison after this, all right?
You and I know that Christine Romalotti, the DA,
has a lot of motivation to put her there.
Michael Baldwin is aware of it as well.
So you're gonna keep rolling the dice.
I don't see it that way.
We're just gonna have to agree to disagree, Dad.
Are you suggesting I have empathy for Matt Clark?
Yes, absolutely. That's why I'm asking.
No, no. He's a means to an end, and that's it.
Well, I suggest that you get to that end pretty soon.
Give Victor what he wants
so he can give you what you need--your freedom.
You cannot build a company from within a prison cell, Phyllis.
I don't need to build a company. I have Summers Conglomerate.
Not too much longer.
We'll see about that.
Well, if you can't do it for yourself, do it for Nick.
His family's the one that Matt's been stalking all this time.
This is no game for him.
It's not a game for me.
I am giving Victor a solution to his son's problem.
He's the one who's making it about him and the company.
And now you're making it about yourself by
potentially putting the father of your child in jeopardy.
Can't you see that? Can't you look past your desire
to hang on to something that...
that doesn't really belong to you?
For Nick's sake.
I am offering Victor a solution.
He can have Matt Clark whenever he wants him.
But adding the company into the deal?
That is a hard no.
Hey, it's me, Lily.
Yeah. I can see that on my phone.
Yeah, of course. Sorry.
Have you landed?
Uh, not yet. I'm actually gonna leave soon,
but are you at the hospital?
I'm still at the hotel
waiting for the go-ahead from my mom.
The surgery won't happen for another couple of hours.
Okay. Did Stephanie say how Malcolm's doing?
Her words--that "he is in typically great spirits."
Of course he is. The eternal optimist.
How's Cane getting along?
Uh, Cane is...he's good.
Um, anyway, Holden, thank you so much
for being there for Malcolm.
I know it means a lot to him.
And it means a lot to me too.
See you soon.
[indistinct chatter]
I guess she would. It's where she lives.
Oh. Hello, Nick.
Hey, uh, looking for Phyllis. Have you seen her?
Uh, you just missed her. She went upstairs.
Hello!
Lily's on her way?
But we still have some time to go sightseeing
before she gets here.
Okay.
But, uh, one thing first.
What is that?
I don't want you to read too much into that kiss.
Other than that the more I get to know you,
the real you...
The more I see what a good guy you are.
Then maybe you...
should kiss me again.
Because there's no telling how good I'll be after that.
-Nice try. -[laughs]
All right, let's just call it one step closer to meaning...
a little more to each other.
I can live with that.
Good.
All right. I'd better get outta here.
You promise to keep me posted?
I will.
You text me when you land.
Feel better, okay?
How did your brother seem to you?
He's okay. I guess.
You're worried about the drugs?
Oh, I...
never stop worrying about the damn drugs.
Did you ever talk to him about his plan
to go all vigilante on Matt?
Oh, yeah.
I told him in no uncertain terms
I don't want him to go down that route.
Think you actually got through to him?
I just don't think he'll do anything rash.
I hope you're right.
Hey, Phyllis.
Hey, Nick.
Take me to Matt. Now.
Oh, I'm sorry. Has your father agreed to my terms?
I haven't received a call.
I certainly haven't agreed to his.
You forget what my dad's asking for,
about returning the company to him.
I will convince Christine to drop all the charges against you
if you hand Matt over to me.
ADAM: Next week on "The Young and the Restless."
This is for you.
-Is something wrong? -Uh, well, I hope not.
Have you heard from my dad?
